Representatives of TFP Student Action, a conservative student Catholic advocacy group, recently attended a “Coming Out Day” celebration at Georgetown University. They got videos, pictures and more to tell the tale of how one of the oldest Catholic colleges in the nation is morphing into something quite different:
My colleague, holding the camera, then asked how they justify such things given that “the Catechism of the Catholic Church says that homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.”
— “Unfortunately, the Catholic Church is sort of a hierarchical institution; it doesn’t always recognize the importance of individual revelation.”
— “But how does that explain it (homosexual acts) as being intrinsically disordered?” continued my friend.
Georgetown student: — “Well, I’ll say very blatantly, that that belief is wrong! At Georgetown,” he continued, “there are Jesuits who think that what GU Pride does is wrong, but there are Jesuits who love what we do and who are supportive of the community. The Catholic Church isn’t as undemocratic on the more human, sort of the, umm, each level of the, each individual… what is it? Oh, each individual diocese, as people make it out to be. Uhh, and that’s, like I said, demonstrated here, where what we do is celebrate diversity, celebrate identity, which is so critical to the Catholic mission.”
